Measurement of Length is the one in which lengths are measured in varied forms. A small length is measured in cm and mm. While a large length is measured in m and km. Other than this, if we see the Standard Unit of Length = "Meter." Or, we can express it as "m."
1 m Length is divided into 100 equal coins. Moreover, each division is called Cm or Centimetre. So, 1m = 100 cm. The largest distance is generally measured in Kilometre, whose Length is divided into 1000 equal divisions. Furthermore, this division is named Meter. In this manner, 1 km = 1000 m.
As per the length conversion charts, units of lengths and their counterparts are:
1 Kilometre (km) = 10 Hectometres (hm) = 1000 m
1 Hectometre (hm) = 10 Decametres (dam) = 100 m
1 Decametre (dam) = 10 Meters (m)
1 Meter (m) = 10 Decimetres (dm) = 100 cm = 1000 mm
1 Decimetre (dm) = 10 Centimetres (cm)
1 Decimetre = 0.1 Meter
1 Centimetre (cm) = 10 Millimetres (mm)
1 Centimetre = 0.01 Meter
1 Millimetre = 0.001 Meter
Likewise, remember
1 mile = 1760 yards
1 mile = 5280 feet
1 yard = 3 feet
1 foot = 12 inches
